Hi. I tripped from my stairs and my ankle started swelling. Later took a x ray and found that it' s an avulsion fracture. I had casting done to my leg and it is immobile since. Now it has been 4 weeks and I took a x ray yesterday to find out if it has healed some what. To my surprise the crack is there still. I' m worried when it' ll be healed. Please advise.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am dr akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. Obviously the fracture will not heal completely in 4 weeks time. But I need to see your latest x ray to understand whether fracture is properly reduced, then I can give you my advise. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
